    The food was excellent as always. We have never had a bad meal here. The service was not up to par on Christmas Eve, we were really being pushed by the waiter. He was constantly asking if we were done eating and clearing each dish as soon as it was empty. This is not normally what we have experienced before, otherwise we would not return. Normally staff is very helpful and friendly

    First experience at saffron- even after hearing glowing reviews from friends, it exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, the drinks were fun and perfect, the wait staff was superb, and the environment was beautiful. I will definitely visit again, and hopefully soon.

    Good experience overall. Food is a little pricy for the portion size. Server was nice but need to spend more time dealing with us, rather than talking to his colleague at the front door. At one point I had to actually go look for him to let him know I wanted to add an extra main dish.
